I agree, and UNC's RPI being so high I would think would be a huge help to Wake at this point considering the regular-season sweep.
Here's the response I got just now on Twitter from a writer with Baseball America: "Brackets are Tuesday for us. RPI is high enough where Deacs *could* get in without it, but I'd strongly encourage them to win."
I responded by saying I'd be confident that Wake would make field with a win Tuesday and then one win in pool play, and he said: "Yeah. Hard to say with a ton of confidence right now that they'd make it in without that. Better to be safe than sorry."
FWIW, if WF beats Duke, they then advance to pool play to play games against L'ville, UVA and Clemson, and I assume WF will have burned Dunshee and probably Craig to get to pool play. So, there is a decent chance even with a win tomorrow, WF is looking at a losing 6 out 7 to finish the season (granted the losses would all be to very strong teams).
